China has successfully launched their Shenzhou 7 mission this morning. It will be their first-ever spacewalk and a major steps towards their trip to the Moon, so its completion is vital not only for their space program but also for Chinese propaganda. So vital that a full article describing the success of the launch was actually written and posted hours before the actual launch, including descriptions and astronauts' dialogue that never happened:
After this order, signal lights all were switched on, various data show up on rows of screens, hundreds of technicians staring at the screens, without missing any slightest changes ...
'One minute to go!'
'Changjiang No.1 found the target!'
...
The firm voice of the controller broke the silence of the whole ship. Now, the target is captured 12 seconds ahead of the predicted time
...
'The air pressure in the cabin is normal!'
Ten minutes later, the ship disappears below the horizon. Warm clapping and excited cheering breaks the night sky, echoing across the silent Pacific Ocean.
And people wonder why the tin-foil hatters think we never went to the Moon.
Figures, the idiot lying heathen chinee
the chinese govt. are pyshic ALERT
wonder if their astos are eating melamine?
"You'd like to THINK that, wouldn't you?"
ChiCom Space Ping.
Pei-Ping.
“And people wonder why the tin-foil hatters think we never went to the Moon.”
Tin-foilers are simply liars and losers who conflate slander with power and control.
Note that this was exposed within minutes. A fake moon flight would have been as well. Among other things, amateur radio operators were able to track the Apollo capsules for their entire flight. If they could do it, it’s a safe bet that every armed force or national intelligence agency in the world could do it. Never mind the Soviet Union, how did we get, say, the Guatemalan Navy to go along with it?
Btw, I brought this up with a rather gullible young lady who had been completely sucked in by Fox Entertainment’s Moon Hoax lie-fest a few years ago. She seemed confused at first and brought out some lefty boiler plate about the military always doing as they were told.
After a few more questions, it emerged that this person did not know that there is more than one national military force in the world. She thought the US had the only one and they would unquestioning obey Pentagon orders to take part in a Hoax cover-up. What did she do? She was a third year medical student.
Take off every 'ZIG'!!
Houston Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee said we went to MARS!
Future proctologist, no doubt. ;-)
So, has the State Media already announced their reentry?
Yes, they are reporting that American imperialists shot it down with their airborne laser. Their astronauts are posthumously declared the Socialist Martyrs./sarc
Ah yes, I had forgtten about the nefarious Yankee Imperialist Warmongers. :-)
forgtten = forgotten
Well she should know since she is probably from Mars.
Not if she doesn’t re-position her head...
LOL! Great point. ;-)
And the Chinese news agency, with an inexperienced worker, accidentally released the draft version?
This really is a proud day for China. Tens of thousands of people worked hard on this project (maybe hundreds of thousands) for many years. It shouldn't be trivialized based on an error of one person.
We have never gone to the moon and neither will they ...
